NEWS OF THE HARRISBURG CHURCH WORLD
BUSINESSMEN TO
SUPPLY SERMONS
Dr. 6 Smucker Will Preach on
Church Questions as They
See Them
More than a month ago Dr. Clay
ton Albert Smucker sent to twenty
five businessmen in the city the fol
lowing letter, to gain information on
which to base a series of sermons:
My dear Sir: As a minister of
one of the churches of Harrisburg,
I am desirous of obtaining the opinion
of some of the leading business and
professional men relative to the
church and its work in this city, I am
intensely conscious of the fsct that
ofttimes ministers have very indis
tinct, or at least vague ideas as to
the real mind and attitude of the
business world toward the church and
ministry of our modern times.
Personally, as a minister, I should
like very much to have you give me a
l'rank and open expression of your
views upon certain questions that are
vital to church problems in Harris
burg. I ask this of you for the reason
that I desire to look to these prob
lems from the standpoint of the busi
ness world, as well as from the stand
point of the ministry.
I assure you that I shall be deep
ly interested in any answer you may
give to my queries or any suggestions
you may have to offer. I am writing
to a number of the citizens of Harris
burg and I am frank to say that their
replies will form the basis of a series
of sermons which I hope to preach
during the month of October. If if
is not asking too much, will you kind
ly give me a word or two on the fol
lowing questions:
Why do so many men pass by the
door of the church?
What do you consider the most im
portant work beipg done by the
churches of Harrisburg?
What do you consider the greatest
weakness of the modern church?
What specific evils, if any, in our
city should receive attention from
the pulpit?
Is the modern church, in your esti
mation, fulfilling the office for which
it was founded by Jesus Christ?
Your replies wilT be considered
strictly confidential and your name
will not appear in any of the ser
mons which I may deliver on the sub
jects suggestd by these replies.
Thanking you in advance, I am
Most cordially yours,
Clayton Albert Smucker,
Minister of Stevens Memorial Church.
Last Sunday evening Dr. Smucker
preached his first sermon in this spe
cial series of sermons. To-morrow
evening he Is to talk on "Dangers Con
fronting Young Men From the Coun
try Who Seek Wealth and Fortune in
the City." These Sunday evening
sermons by Dr. Smucker will be given
choral accompaniment by some of the
best musical artists In the city. Sun
day night the big male chorus will
sing.
